Judge Allows a Jury Trial In a Case of Jewish Divorce
2002
Overview
A Heter also would have helped Mr. Sieger gain disputed property, the judge said, and Mrs. Sieger said that was one of Mr. Sieger's goals: holding on to the two nursing homes that she brought into the marriage. So she filed a wide-ranging lawsuit. Judge [Martin Schoenfeld] on Wednesday refused to dismiss counts of defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which included the claim that Mr. Sieger paid bribes to the rabbis of a religious court for the Heter. And the judge expressed skepticism that the required 100 rabbis had approved the decree. Louis Tratner, a lawyer for Rabbi Solomon B. Herbst, one of the rabbis named as in the suit, denied that his client had taken a bribe. Mrs. Sieger accused Rabbi Herbst of being the go-between with the rabbis who issued the Heter. The lawyer for those rabbis, Nathan Lewin, did not immediately return a call.
